Theorem

Master theorem

The master theorem is a recipe that gives asymptotic estimates for a class of recurrence relations that often show up when analyzing recursive algorithms.

Let a ≥ 1 and b > 1 be constants, let f(n) be a function, and let T(n) be a function over the positive numbers defined by the recurrence

T(n) = aT(n/b) + f(n).

If f(n) = Θ(nd), where d ≥ 0, then

  • T(n) = Θ(nd) if a < bd,
  • T(n) = Θ(ndlog n) if a = bd,
  • T(n) = Θ(nlogba) if a > bd.
